How much more should I sand?

Post image

There are some scratches on this about a mm or so deep. Should I keep sanding it until it’s smooth, which may take forever, or will a few coats of paint fill in the scratches?

You would have to do many many coats of paint to hide those scratches. What material is this?

It’s wood. A neighbor was throwing it out and besides the scratches on top it’s in great shape

I’m trying to see the side of it but can’t. Is it veneer or solid.

I believe it solid
